The 4th hole is a par 3 along Ocean Avenue. My buddy hit driver and I hit a hybrid and we were both short. The wind was whipping.

As long as you have decent distance off the tee and a good mid-iron game you can tear this place up. Greens are pure and hold the ball exceptionally well. Lots of subtle ridges and break in the greens. Fun hazards and well placed bunkers make approach shots important.

Absolutely can’t recommend this course enough if you’re looking for a great fall golf experience in New England. I’ve played here last few years in October and it’s been a great experience, skip the summer rates and get out here when the foliage is prime!

Played here in an event with work which was a 4 man scramble. Thoroughly thoroughly enjoyable golf course. Reminded me of what it’s like to have fun on the course again. Would love to play there all summer, great set up and some spectacular vistas down by the ocean.

Layout is very fun and challenging. No two holes are the same and the Par 3s are very challenging, in my opinion best in the state. Course conditions have greatly improved and continue to get better every week!

Great municipal course. Greens are exceptional for any course let alone a muni Bunkers and tee boxes are sore spots as is pace on weekends later in the day and weekday evenings behind leagues.

Very nice greens. Solid layout with reachable par 5s and some tricky shots. Last 2 holes are very disappointing. It feels like the designers just ran out of space and just jammed two short par 4s with little memorable features to close out an otherwise fine course.
